"Bring Aegon the Usurper to me!"

The trailer concludes with scenes of dragons and key characters facing serious and unavoidable consequences. It concludes with a dark reminder:

"Did I not warn you that it would come to this?"

How are fans reacting after the final trailer launch of House of the Dragon Season 3?

Fans got excited after the trailer launch and are waiting for the release of the first episode of Season 3 on HBO Max. Some say that it was a bad idea to keep the best character stuck in Luigi's mansion for an entire season, while others are revisiting the ending of Season 2 so that they can connect the storyline.

Luigi's Mansion became a viral meme online and has been used by fans to describe Daemon Targaryen's extended stay at the haunted castle of Harrenhal in Season 2. From the fans' perspective, after taking control of Harrenhal, Daemon spent many episodes alone inside the dark and scary castle instead of fighting with dragons.
